Very sorry to hear you're enduring a case of sinusitis! I had chronic sinusitis as a teen because of allergies. If your doctor didn't explain, sinusitis is a brutal infection in the sinus cavities. It will, as you explained, make your head, face, eyes, and teeth! hurt. The pain associated with sinusitis can most definitely cause a disruption in thinking. It hurts!

You might want to ask your doctor about using saline nasal spray or the neti pot. I use these only occasionally - when my sinuses are getting stuffy. I like using the neti pot after I do yard work to clean out the passages in the nose. It takes a bit to get used to the feel of salt water flowing in and out of your nose, but it's great for clearing the ick out of the nose!!

Stress definitely lowers our immune system and wears us down! I'm sorry the bacteria were able to take hold of you.

Icky germy bacteria bugs!!! My little is sorry your stuffies hadda take a bath! (Hers are going to get a bath soon though...stuffies need them every once in a while! We can't tell her or she'll hide them!)

I hope get well soon! ~hands you a couple boxes of tissues~ Dese tissues not for cwy'n doh dems for blow'n yer nose! (Little's two cents)
